Under 7

A
squad of 19 travelled to St Olivers pitch on the 26th of April to play an U-7
game. The group were divided into 2 teams with each playing 1 game each. The
squad for the night:-

We
played both Dungarvan and Stradbally in under 14 football on Monday night both
in Abbeyside. First up was Dungarvan we
got off to quick start here and were always in control to record a good win
3-11 to 0-1. In the division 3 game against Stradbally we also got off to a
good start this was a much more competitive match with our lads battling to the
end to record a 4-3 to 3-3. The next games in this championship is 12th
May away to Lismore and Kilrossanty this is the final round.

On
Sunday we competed in the Under 13 Football western semi finals in Division 1
& 3. We played St. Pats in Abbeyside, this was a tough competitive affair
with scores scarce in the first half, and had a 6 point lead at half time. In the second half we played better and came
away with a win, with a score line of 2-10 to 0-5. Our second team travelled to
Ardmore later that morning. Our lads started
well and the teams were evenly match of the first 15 mins, after this Adrmore
scored a few quick goals and from the point were always in control, our boys
battled to the end but it was the home team record a deserved win.

We
would like to thank Ardmore and Board na Og for allowing the game to re-scheduled to 1:30 to allow mentors and family to attend both games. We would
also like to thank the families that changed their weekend plans to allow their
sons play.

We
travelled to neighbours last Friday evening to play Dungarvan in under 11
Hurling. Our lads played very well and were all ways in control and won 1-3 to
8-3. Our second team travelled to play St Pats in Div 3 and also had a good
win.
